@Blake - I was hoping you'd pop in at some point...and I'm glad we started before your 'AI dagger' improvements!
On with the report...well, I decided our barb troubles were mostly over, so I whipped granaries in big and little T. Hammer-T(ime), as I shall call it, was switched to a granary and I called over our fogbusting missionary to spread Conf here. HC has settled Huamanga due west of Big T which will bust that fog nicely. With hindsight I should have sent the missionary to Big T so that we can build another temple there.
The immediate barb troubles came to rather little as they suicided on little-T. Sadly, the axe on our goldmine took a promo and destroyed our mine. It got rebuilt be the end of my (extended) turnset.
Research-wise, I traded CoL to Mao for Sailing (to unlock Calendar) and the rest of Monarchy, mainly so I could start on Construction, as we'll be needing catapults. No other trades possible for the duration, though Boney did come asking after Alphabet.
I sent the Jags and some archers up to attack Saxon. I wondered whether to keep it and decided I would: with three corn, an oasis and a bunch of FPs, it seems well worth a Priest in Big T. Each Jag had just over 70% win chance and all three came up trumps.
Aside from rebuilding the mine, I built our first cottage and farmed some rice, and the copper was reconnected. By hooking Big T up to the river, I connected all our cities. In other news, Taoism was FIDL in 5AD, but I was too distracted by those Barb Swords to check who it was...
As far as Doomsday goes, we could declare on HC and raze Huamanga. It's not connected, is guarded by a single Quechua, and our Archer can see right inside. Inca still lacks metals, but I'm sure he's on his way to Feudalism, but that won't save Huamanga...
